You ever get that email from LinkedIn suggesting People You May Know? I built that with no engineering support. Everything from infrastructure, design, business logic, ETL (Hadoop->RDBMS->ESP), code to scaling.

The first time we launched it the resulting traffic crashed the site (user auth service couldn't handle the additional load), today it generates 10%+ MAU.

I used just clone the MAC address across my iPhone and laptop and switch between them, so I guess you could use your phone to get through the captive portal and then connect with a travel router that clones the phones MAC address.

Given most pandemic growth stocks (ex: zoom, peloton) are down so much nobody really believes that instacart is worth what they raised at the height of the pandemic? Helps with new hires, but existing hires will need large refreshers
